Answer 1

Kashmiri Muslim cuisine is another gold mine of gourmet; cooking to explore, another treasure trove of exotica to savor. Except for some hotels and a few restaurants in India which promote or cater to regional tastes, this highly prized art too has remained largely confined to Kashmiri homes in and out of the Valley.

As in days of old, the traditional Kashmiri Muslim banquet known as Wazwan; is a feast fit for kings. The word 'waz' means chef, a master of culinary arts and 'wan' means the shop with its full array of meats and delicacies. Perhaps nowhere else in India will you find a royal meal as unique and as elaborate as Wazwan. It consists of thirty-six courses, of which fifteen to thirty dishes are varieties of meat.  

There are seven standard dishes that are a must for all Wazwans: Rista, Roghan Josh, Tabak Maaz, Daniwal Korma, Aab Gosh, Marchwonganor mirchi Korma and Gushtaba. Gushtaba

is the final dish, the 'full-stop'.

It is only after the last trami has been served and the host says- 'Bismillah'; that the copper covers are lifted and the feast begins:

Savor a little of this, a little of that, but when you settle down to eat, please do justice to the cuisine-eat with -your fingers.
